If we do add a new method rather than a relationship, since we don't
currently have an IADocument interface, I'd prefer to add it to
IAccessible2_2.  That would also be more generic, i.e. every kind of
object implements IAccessible2_2 but only a document object would
implement IADocument.

Regarding a relation vs a method, are there any issues that would argue
for one over the other?

Alex, Please tell me more about the AT crawling the hierarchy.

We have three suggestions so far:
- hasFlowedTo
- isPositionedAt
- scrolledTo

The first name might be a bit obscure, i.e. what is the concept of
flowing?  The last one doesn't seem generic enough.  So maybe
isPositionedAt is a good choice.  What does everyone think?
